Improves Customer Service. Customer service teams hold the key to some the best innovative ideas. They are often the first line of contact, and their interactions with end users in the field can shape innovation strategies.

Strengthens Collaboration. Externally, collaboration is key. Hytrol’s integration partners are a tremendous resource for valuable and innovative ideas. These companies are constantly working with end users to understand their challenges and find solutions to fit their unique needs.

Enhances Customer Experience. Areas where innovation can increase customer satisfaction include new product development, system design and customer care. Improvements in these areas should be tailored with the customer’s needs in mind.

“Innovation efforts cannot take off without a shared vision or strategic plan. Throwing resources at research and development will not solve the problem. It is important to foster an environment where innovation is viewed as everyone’s responsibility,” added Peacock.
